Nobody has the "right of way". You're a stand-on or give-way vessel.
Of course, you wouldn't expect a %^$^% jet ski operator to know
that. ;-)

Correct. When it appears that maintaining course will result in a collision,
both vessels are singally required to do whatever it takes to avoid that
collision. At that point, "stand-on" or "give-way" is moot, other than in
court.
